Be a Pioneering Photonics Design Expert at a Leading R&D Company in Leuven!
Do you have a passion for shaping the future of photonics with cutting-edge technology?
Join a world-class team at a leading R&D company located in Leuven, Belgium. As a Photonics Design Expert, you'll play a key role in developing and launching ground-breaking silicon photonics devices and products, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
Here's where you'll make your mark:
* Collaborate with a dynamic team of engineers and designers to craft a revolutionary silicon photonics portfolio.
* Lead the charge on innovative concepts and projects, taking them from initial ideation to successful product introductions.
* Design and model next-generation photonic components and circuits.
* Ensure flawless designs through meticulous chip design reviews.
* Develop test plans, analyze data, and validate designs throughout the R&D phase.
* Champion the creation of PIC-based system architectures for groundbreaking applications, including high-speed transceivers, optical DSP, 3D/4D image sensing, and more!
* Foster close collaboration with local processing and test teams, as well as global component/module teams.
We're looking for someone who thrives on:
* A Ph.D. in a relevant field like Photonics, Engineering, or Physics, with over 5 years of experience in the photonics industry.
* Proven experience in designing and testing tiny light-based components (silicon photonics).
* The ability to combine different types of chips to make them work together.
* A successful track record of bringing new products from idea to mass production.
* (Bonus points!) Experience in developing products (defining what they need to do, improving how they're made, understanding customer needs, and finding new business opportunities).
* Excellent communication skills to convince others to fund your projects and understand market trends.
* Hands-on experience with special software used to design and simulate light-based devices (e.g. Photon Design, Lumerical). Familiarity with Python, VPI, and Luceda Ipkiss is a plus.
